Anyway, with the Nizpro Stage 2 kit on their ute and while travelling on a country trip (sitting at around the speed limit on country roads for 80% of time, the other 20 demonstrating the car's performance to potential customers hence full throttle), we acheived 8.5l per 100k. Around town and it typically delivers better than standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to drive a massive amount of km's before the fuel saving would offset the price of the nizpro kit!I'm not having a dig at nizpro's pricing, I'm just saying nobody will buy one of those kits to save a few litres of fuel.

emotive Member 17 Member For: 20y 11m 7d Location: Melbourne Posted 10/02/04 03:34 AM Share Posted 10/02/04 03:34 AM In comparing fuel economy, it will help to also publish your average sppeed over the trip, to give us an idea of driving mix. In my VY 3.8L manual (yeah don't flame me, the XR6T is next) I get the following:13.3L/100 with an avg speed of 33km/h (suburban driving)12.2L/100 with an avg speed of 36km/h (suburban driving)10.8L/100 with an avg speed of 45km/h (suburban driving and one long trip)8.8L/100 with an avg speed of 85km/h (highway driving) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
